Album of the Year と Gaelic Singer of the Year にノミネートされています。 以下、HPから抜粋。
ALBUM OF THE YEAR Cuilidh - Julie Fowlis Julie is a rising star of traditional music and with Cuilidh, her second album, as ever the songs and tunes are shrouded in the historical folklore of her native North Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland. Julie's beautiful voice, coupled with an all-star crew - including Eamon Doorley (Danu), John McCusker (Kate Rusby), Chris Thile (Nickel Creek), Mark Kelly (Altan), John Doyle (Solas) and Donald Shaw (Capercaillie) - all combine to create another spellbinding selection of traditional material gathered by Julie from the tradition-bearers of her homeland.
GAELIC SINGER OF THE YEAR Julie Fowlis Julie Fowlis burst onto the wider music scene in 2006, when she became the first ever Scottish Gaelic singer to win a prestigious BBC Radio 2 Folk Award. Since winning the Horizon Award for best newcomer, she has won the hearts of audiences around the globe, played every major festival in Britain, showcased in Texas and New York, and is in constant demand as a performer of Gaelic music. The songs she was brought up with in the Hebrides can now be heard just as regularly on more mainstream BBC Radio and other stations throughout the world as they can be at home on Gaelic radio. This was shown in her ground breaking nomination just 8 months later for Folk Singer of the Year 2007 at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards.
